Chapter 735: The First Battle Is Blocked
No matter how big the city pass is, it is impossible to accommodate hundreds of thousands of troops to attack together, and the first to launch the offensive is only the first batch of coalition forces.
Even so, the scene was terrifying.
It was only when the coalition forces rushed within a stone's throw that the ground suddenly collapsed, the earth sank, and a long ditch about several meters wide and spanning the entire outside of the pass appeared.
In the midst of the screams, countless soldiers fell into the ditch, followed by one terrible howl after another.
In the long ditch, it is not only covered with fire oil, but also dense, sharpened wooden thorns, which suddenly fall into the air, and as soon as they fall, they are directly stabbed into a hornet's nest.
How many soldiers didn't have time to react at all, and they crossed the corpse ditch, and the bloody spikes pierced through the body, eye-catching and terrifying.
As a general, Ye Gui also rushed to the front, but fortunately, he was strong and fast enough, and with a spear at the bottom of the ditch, with the help of his strength, he jumped back to the back.
But the coalition forces behind were still in a state of charging, and suddenly, where did the speed stop, and in the crowd, Ye Gui almost rushed into the ditch again.
He stretched his spear sideways, using it as a railing, and at the same time yelled desperately: "Stop! Stop it! ”
At this time, the coalition forces behind also knew that there was a trap in front, and they hurriedly stopped, but there were too many of them, and the front was clear, but where did they know in the back, under the crowding, the crowd surged, and countless soldiers were pushed into the ditch by their own people, and let out a terrible howl.
Seeing this, the generals of the Qin army at the head of the city immediately said: "Su Shuai, the enemy's offensive has been blocked, and there is a big chaos, the last general suggests that the rocket be released immediately." ”
"Don't rush." Su Yi said in a steady voice: "Wait a little longer." ”
Under the city, after a great chaos, the coalition forces quickly stabilized their positions, and then, under the command of the various departments, they began to bring down the ladders as temporary bridges.
The whole scene seemed to be full of ladders erected on the long ditch, and countless coalition soldiers stepped on the ladders to pass quickly and rushed to the city pass.
It didn't take long at all, and countless soldiers had gathered under the city pass and in the long ditch interception.
"It's now! Ignition! Shoot the arrows! Su Yi decisively ordered.
With his order, the soldiers of the Qin army, who had already been prepared, took arrows and fired them one after another, drew their bows to the full, and launched a volley against the long ditch.
The arrows poured down with the light of fire, and shot all over the ditch in a disorderly manner.
And the long ditch has long been covered with fire oil, which can be said to be on fire, and it is not something that the corpse can stop at all.
When a fire broke out in just one place, it was like a tongue of fire, following the traces of fire oil, and it burned all over the long ditch in an instant.
The earthen ditch has become a wall of fire in an instant, burning the ladder erected on the ditch to a crackling sound, and even the allied soldiers who are passing through are directly burned into burning people, howling and running around.
Under the raging fire, the wooden ladder quickly lost its effect and was more equivalent to incendiary material.
The heat wave came to an emergency halt again, and this wall of fire also divided its vanguard and the rear directly in two.
At the same time, the Qin army also launched a fierce counterattack against the coalition forces that had reached the pass.
A large rain of arrows, mixed with gravel and rolling wood, kept falling.
Where does the coalition army under the pass have the slightest power to fight back, the front can not advance, the back can not retreat, the sound of arrows breaking through the flesh has not stopped at all, under the vigorous shooting, the soldiers were shot to the ground one after another, and the stones fell, the damage was even greater, and if they didn't dodge, they died in blood.
The miserable howls that filled the audience rendered this war extremely tragic.
It was more like a one-sided massacre, as the coalition forces could not get over the wall of fire to support, and the siege equipment could not be brought up at all.
In the past, the coalition forces that used the ladder as a bridge and crossed the long ditch numbered thousands, but under this kind of blow, it is estimated that the entire army will be wiped out immediately.
At this time, Ye Guichong couldn't rush over, and hurriedly rushed back to Huang Zu's side, but before he could speak, Huang Zu was already standing on the edge of the handsome car, and directly raised his hand and shouted: "Mingjin!" ”
He was the commander of the whole army, and when he gave an order, the handsome flag shook, and the sound of gold sounded in the rear, and the non-commissioned officers of the coalition army who had not passed the wall of fire heard about it and immediately began to retreat in an all-round way.
Ye Gui said urgently: "Huang Shuai! It's just ...... siege."
"Let's collect the troops first." Huang Zu interrupted him, and said with an indifferent face: "Su Yi dug the pit, I was careless, this wall of fire can't be passed today." ”
"The soldiers in front!" Ye Gui is still in a hurry.
"They're dead! Can't be saved! Huang Zu glanced at him, waved his hand, and the handsome car turned around and began to leave the battlefield.
"This!" Ye Gui was helpless, looked back at the wall of fire that was still burning, and hesitated, so he could only keep up with the large army.
With the retreat of the coalition forces and the retreat of the main forces, the results of the thousands of soldiers under the city pass are needless to say.
Half an hour later.
The fire oil in the ditch was burned out, and the ladders had long been turned into ashes, and under the city gate, there were even more corpses, blood flowed like rivers, random arrows were slanted all over the ground, and rolling stones were everywhere.
Not a single soldier was spent, thousands of enemy troops were annihilated, the first battle of the coalition army was frustrated, and after the battle, all the generals of the Qin army also had a trace of joy on their faces.
On the battlefield, it is a very important thing to be the first to thwart the spirit.
Looking at the tragic traces below, Su Yi said in a flat voice: "Xu Rong, take your headquarters and go to clean up the battlefield, and the rolling stones that can still be used will be moved back and continued to be used tomorrow." ”
"No!" Xu Rong took the order and left.
At this time, Su Yi was not afraid that the coalition forces would suddenly kill the horse pistol, because the other party had to solve that big ditch before he could launch a real onslaught on Shanyu Pass.
Under his orders, the city gate opened, and Xu Rong began to command the soldiers of his headquarters, working in pairs, to move the usable rolling stones back to the city again.
The other side.
After the withdrawal, the coalition forces retreated dozens of miles for a temporary rest, and while Huang Zu also immediately launched an emergency meeting.
In the makeshift tent, the generals soon gathered, and many people's faces, more or less, had a little frustration.
Huang Zu looked around and said: "As far as the battle is concerned, it is normal for the initial battle to be blocked, so don't be discouraged, cheer up." ”
Saying that, he said: "In this battle, the Qin army dug a pit and set up an ambush, which was somewhat unexpected, but in the final analysis, the responsibility lies with Ben Shuai." ”
As the supreme military commander, it is already very good that he can say this, and when the generals heard this, they all took a deep breath, and then, Han Zhou said: "Huang Shuai, everyone didn't think of this matter, the most important thing at the moment is the problem of Changgou." In my opinion, if we want to launch an all-out attack on Shanyu Pass, this long ditch of interception must be solved, and if the Qin army sets fire again tomorrow and divides us in two, it will cause today's situation again. ”
"That's right." Huangfu Ye followed: "And today we are building a bridge with a ladder, which is basically burned down, and if we want to attack the city, the ladder will have to be re-systematized." ”
